What They're Saying
SB Nation College Hockey:
A left shot, Harper is a possession type forward who can zoom up the left wall and blow by opposing defenders. On the power play he set up shop on the half wall and the puck went through him. He has a sneaky, quick release on his wrist shot. He has great hands and puts touch on his passes. He had great chemistry with linemate Jamie Armstrong, another prospect for the 2016 NHL Draft.
Obviously, with a player his size, the question is, is he dynamic enough to offset his lack of physical stature? The jury is still out on that, but he's proven that he can still be a force even against better competition than in prep hockey.
From what I can tell, Harper will play for Omaha again in 2016-17, then enroll at BU in 2017-18.
